Viewing and Configuring Controller WLANs
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a local area network (LAN) without wires. WLANs transfer data through the
air using radio frequencies instead of cables. The WLAN screen displays a high-level overview of the
WLANs created for the controller managed network. Use this data as necessary to the WLANs that are
active, their VLAN assignments, updates to a WLAN’s description and their current authentication and
encryption scheme.The Wireless LANs screen is partitioned into 5 tabs supporting the following
configuration activities:
● Configuring WLANs
● Viewing WLAN Statistics
● Configuring WMM
● Configuring the NAC Inclusion List
● Configuring the NAC Exclusion List
Configuring WLANs
Refer to the Configuration screen for a high-level overview of the WLANs created for use within the
controller-managed network. Use this data as necessary to keep current of active WLANs, their VLAN
assignments, updates to a WLAN’s description and their current authentication and encryption
schemes. Be careful to properly map BSS WLANs and security schemes.
The Summit WM3600 supports a maximum of 32 WLANs. The Summit WM3700 supports a maximum of 256
WLANS.
